Coffee is fine except for the fact that it will stain clear O tie fasteners around a clear bracket over a few weeks, and coffee with or without cream or sugar should not be consumed with clear aligner trays in the mouth. Limit any soft drinks or drinks that are acidic with sugar.
Sure!
You can drink coffee with brackets and wires, but not with removable clear aligners such as Invisalign.
Certainly, just be aware that coffee (or tea) will stain the teeth and it is difficult to remove with the tooth brush. A daily rinse with 3% hydrogen peroxide helps keep stain away. The dental hygienist can remove stain with a Prophyjet that we use in my office. Good luck with the braces!
Yep. If you're drinking anything sugary or acidic you may want to rinse out afterwards.
Absolutely! The frequent carbonated sugary drinks are more dangerous! A soft bristle brush, waterpik, swishing with fluoridated (kids) mouth rinse will greatly help in keeping things clean!
Basically, you can drink anything while wearing braces. You will want to avoid eating/chewing very hard, sticky or gummy foods or candies. They will stick to or break off your braces. Good luck. When you get your braces off, remember to wear your retainer as long as you want to keep your teeth straight.
Yes, you may. Make sure you brush or your mouth after wards. Braces are “glued on” or bonded to your teeth with composite resin. This material can easily stain more so than your regular teeth and therefore you will see more stains.
If you use sugar or cream on your coffee, you are more prone to the residue gettinh trapeo and cavities being Formed. Use and electrical toothbrush like Sonicare to help you clean your teeth more effectively. Have you considered invisalign? That is what I use in my practice it helped with your overall health prevention and is way more discrete,
